After Consent is given you will be redirected back to Admin Center with a confirmation that you have now Connected Azure AD. Please be aware that no sync is running or configured at this point.

How to Configure Azure AD Sync

Press configure AskCody Azure AD Sync

You are redirected to the AskCody Portal (portal.onaskcody.com in EU and portal.goaskcody.com for US customers). AskCody Portal is where all setup and configuration of Azure AD is done.

You are now in the configuration interface for the Azure AD sync.

The sync setup interface consists of the Azure AD Sync in the top of the list with a settings icon and "ADD GROUP" Button. In the settings menu for the sync, the main sync group is selected(root group) "Please be aware to search for the full name of the group, the sync will not get the correct search result just by searching for part of the group name."

Advanced settings can be folded out and you will have the option to set Connection attribute name. This is only used in the event of an Exchange hybrid setup where users need to be flagged as moved to the cloud. in Advanced settings Cost center attribute name can also be set and it is used for synchronizing cost center attributes from AD to AskCody if this is part of the Meeting+ configuration.

When adding a new group to the sync you are able to search in Azure AD groups via Microsoft Graph (See the picture below).

"Please be aware to search for the full name of the group, the sync will not get the correct search result just by searching for part of the group name."

When the correct group is found, it is possible to assign AskCody Roles, Membership, and Assignments to this group. Each item in the list can be unfolded to show the given roles and memberships.

When the sync is configured it can be saved before starting the sync (ex.in the event that it needs to be validated by others before starting).

Running the Azure AD Sync

When the sync is ready to be started, simply press start in the top right corner.

The Sync is now running and depending on the size of the sync (number of users) it can take some time (we can't estimate how long time the initial sync will take but as soon as the sync is stated users will start coming into the system with the Roles and Memberships assigned to the specific groups.

Reception Assignment

Hosts for AskCody Welcome+ Visitor Management is synced separately from users and needs to be assigned to a Reception (for what reception can this person be the host for a visit). If certain locations have certain hosts then a reception assignment needs to be made for each group corresponding to the location.
